The Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony & Luncheon was held on October 20, 2024 at the Grappone Conference Center in Concord for the thirteenth straight year. It marked the NH Legends’ twenty-second year hosting the event and the Legends also paid tribute to the history of the NH Selects twenty-one year history.
During President Mike Gould’s address he welcomed and thanked everyone in attendance for supporting the 2024 Hall of Fame inductees and the NH Selects who had more than 50 players, coaches and family members there in attendance. “We are positive you will thoroughly enjoy the day, and we hope you will return next year as a fan of hockey, play in our golf classic or consider donating as a Supporter”.

Past President John Normand announced the team which will be honored next October 26, 2025. “They began play in 1923 and continued for more than a decade. Opponents in 1927 included Melrose, Waterville, Berlin and the Boston Hockey. They also participated in Manchester Winter Carnival in January 1924.
